Does no one here search the Fourm??? this has been answered how many times!!!

 

The only card that is fully functioning is the GMA900 which is a onboard video from Intel. this is the video that the Dev kits came with and is the only card with functioning drivers. No cards from Nvidia or ATI or any other company will Work fully, you will only beable to run in VESA mode. Newer cards such as the FX series or 6800s run in VESA3.0 which will allow for Changing of Resoultions. That is all

 

Please search the fourm before asking questions most have already been awnswered here. All you do by makeing a new thread is fill up the forum with useless threads.

The only card that works completly is the GMA 900 from intel. It is an onboard video adapter, meaning if you want to "upgrade" to one, you'll need a new motherboard. Other cards are supported via VESA, but this is not fully accelerated, and lacks features such as dynamic resolution changing. VESA is essentially a generic graphics driver, that gets the job done, but isn't the ideal driver you want to use.

Is the GMA900 onboard video from Intel any better than a gforce fx 5600 per say?

 

If your talking 3d Performacne then No, Hell no, The GMA900 is Intel onboard Video its going to suck compared to 80% of the stand alone cards. How ever its still the only game in town for OSX-X86 for right now. Most cards work fine as far as just useing the os right now I would just wait till nVidia or someone else gets drivers working for your card. 3d is not that important right now, considering this OS isn't even out of beta.

Thank you for your reply. Was pondering wheather or not it is worth it to get the intel board or just wait till maybe some new drivers come out. Currently have sse. Going to sse3. Was thinking the athlon 64 route over intel in favor of nforce 4 chipset. But vid card is an issue.
